Upgraded™ Coffee is the result of an obsessive pursuit to find the absolute highest performance coffee beans on earth. It’s taken me more than 10 years to identify every step of performance-robbing toxin formation in coffee and to find a reliable, perfect source of beans that always make you feel great. "Normal" coffee usually gives you the jitters and makes you cranky, but this coffee makes you feel noticeably better than anything else you’ll find. These beans are meant for drinking black or best of all, for making Bulletproof® Coffee with grass fed butter.

The high quality and carefully sourced beans makes Upgraded Coffee taste great too! It has a fruity aroma with hints of apples, cherries, and vanilla. Clean and bright, Upgraded Coffee is a well-balanced coffee with a full body and undertones of caramels in the creamy finish.

Our coffee is carefully produced and lab tested using the Bulletproof Process™ to target the lowest toxin content vs. normal coffee, so you get all the benefits of coffee without the negative health effects.

Upgraded beans are harvested in Central America from passive organic estates without chemicals (herbicides, pesticides, etc.). Each bean is hand-picked by experienced coffee harvesters – skilled people who only pick perfectly ripe berries. Most modern coffee producers pick unripe and damaged beans alongside the ripe ones, which impacts how the coffee makes you feel.

Most coffee beans are processed by leaving them in the sun and elements to wither and dry, or by pressing them and letting them ferment (spoil) to remove the outer layer of the bean. Both of these techniques are known to produce significant levels of performance-robbing mold-toxins.

After we pick the ripest cherries, we use the Bulletproof Process to create a special class of green coffee bean without the harmful molds, bacteria, and toxins that are a huge problem in modern coffee agriculture. The beans are then medium roasted in small batches in United States under the strictest conditions, which minimize the formation of toxins from the roasting process. Roasting the beans enhances their antioxidant capacity and flavor to provide you with a healthier, tastier cup of coffee.

Coffee Is Better With (Grass-Fed) Butter

We’re serious. Bulletproof Coffee is the ultimate drink for power brokers and schoolteachers alike.

Take 2 cups of Upgraded Coffee, 2 tbs. of unsalted grass-fed butter, and 2 tbs of UpgradedTM MCT Oil, and blend it together with a good blender until a creamy head of foam forms. Pour and enjoy this healthful, frothy, and delicious cup of Bulletproof Coffee.

This drink is becoming wildly popular for several reasons:

It makes you feel energized, alert, and focused all day without the crash of energy drinks.

It can melt body fat and increase muscle mass.

It’s made with high quality unsalted grass-fed butter, so it tastes great and provides important fatty acids like CLA.

If you don’t use Upgraded Coffee, you can follow these instructions to find coffee that won't have as many mycotoxins in it. A standard bag of 'high-quality' coffee can cost up to $18, but it could still be full of performance-sapping toxins due to the way it's grown and processed. Life is too short to do drink bad coffee that makes you perform poorly and feel awful.

Is my bag of Upgraded™ Coffee supposed to have a small hole in it?

What you're seeing is a surface applied valve. The coffee is not vacuum sealed but rather put into multi-layer foil bags that contain a one-way valve (the pin-sized hole you see). The valve allows the freshly roasted coffee to degas while minimizing oxidization degradation.

We bag our coffee directly after it is roasted to maximize it's freshness, this is not a standard practice for commercially available coffee and will cause inflation on occasion but this does not affect the quality of the coffee negatively whatsoever.

Is Upgraded™ Coffee made from Arabica or Robusta coffee beans?

Your K-Cups® Broke My Coffee Maker!

Upgraded™ Coffee is ground especially fine in our K-Cup® filters, and should cause no mechanical problems in any coffee maker that uses the K-Cup technology.

The most likely culprit, is the water quality you are using to brew your coffee.

Coffee and tea are over 98% water so quality drinking water is necessary for a good coffee. Never use softened water because sodium ions in softened water form a gelatinous mass around the coffee grounds, slowing down the extraction process and causing over-extraction. This can also clog your brewer, too.

Depending on the mineral content of your water, calcium deposits or scale may build up in your brewer. Scale is non-toxic but if left unattended can hinder brewer performance. Cleaning or "descaling" your coffee maker regularly (every 3 to 6 months) removes mineral build up that can affect taste and quality, and ensures that your brewer performs every time.

We recommend you try a verified coffee maker cleaning solution, or descaling solution.

Is Upgraded™ Coffee certified Fair Trade?

We admire the work that Fair Trade does but not all farms that have ethical practices get certified. In addition, coffee quality is not part of the Fair Trade regulation.

Rather than reply on Fair Trade we have established our own relationships with farmers and farming communities and always pay above market price for our coffees. The amount paid over the market price goes to a social or environmental program requested by the farm community or processor. Please see details of Portland Roasting Sourcing. There is no certification process and therefore no additional expense to the farm or processor.

What's the best method for storing Upgraded™ Coffee long term?

For long term storage of whole beans of Upgraded Coffee, vacuum sealed storage with minimal degradation, and then freezing, works. Just don’t open it until it returns to room temp to prevent condensation which will ruin the beans!

How many milligrams of caffeine are in a cup of Upgraded™ Coffee?

Depending on the brewing method used, caffeine can range between:

Espresso (1 oz. shot): 60 – 100 mg

Brewed: 80 – 200 mg

Decaf Brewed: 3 – 6 mg
